It is. And curiouser still when Microsoft have referred to themselves having a patent on it previously.

My main decision process is something like this...which console will have the best soulsborn games ps5 had Bloodborne and nioh 2 exclusivity but this next gen could swing either way.
Much as I would like either console on launch I will wait until there are games I really want until buying.

Is it not safe to assume that 1st party devs, being tied to Sony, will not be saying anything negative about Sony's new console, and indeed might instead by inclined to promote it...
Just sayin'
It's not just 1st party game developers saying it tho!!
But hey ho these are just the guys that make the games.
Of course. Or they could just as well be as excited about the new tech as I am! I'd rather listen to the opinion of someone from the likes of Naughty Dog than someone on a forum moaning about teraflops.

You'll see when the consoles are out and the comparisons begin. The PS5 is incapable of matching the throughput of the X1 series X. Doesn't matter how much Sony claim that the most widely used performance metric suddenly doesn't count / encourage their own developers to tweet about it.
Soldato
I guess the PS5 is more comparable to the cheaper Xbox that’s coming out.
X1 series X is in another league by itself.
Hmmmmm multiple 1st party game studios with multiple generations under their belt.. I know who I would trust.
Also most of the studios MS bought were indie.
It's been quite comical watching each new big game launch on the Xbox this gen lol
The only contest MS will win next gen is how big is your pee pee.
lol doesn't matter how big it is it's what you do with it that counts. That's what I tell myself anyway

Here's something new to fight about 
XBoneX (the console with 30% more TFlops than the PS4Pro) performing noticeably worse than the PS4Pro on the RE3 Remake demo
Of course, you could argue that it's throwing more pixels around and "doing more".
Then you could also argue that it still illustrates the point that power isn't always best because some devs might try and push things too far and lead to a much weaker experience.
Like I said.... lots to fight about.

I've just watched that and whilst a tad disappointing, you could argue that they've futureproofed it for Xbox Series X. It will run at a locked 4K60 on that system without any updates, whereas the PS5 version will be 1620p60.

Yeah, I'd be inclined to trust the person not getting their paycheck from Sony too.
The Zen 2 CPU is capable of 4GHz+ under all core load with adequate cooling, and it's not a linear thing, it takes exponentially more power and cooling going beyond 3.5GHz. That suggests to me they went for a more traditional console design with lower thermal headroom than Xbox. They did say in their presentation that they think we will be satisfied with cooling, so I hope that means they finally sorted out the hairdryer fan noise that plagued the PS4 and PS4 Pro.

Well, the point isn't really about RE3.
Only that MORE POWAH doesn't always mean a better experience.
There's more factors at play than just how many flops are flopping around
While any sane person would admit that the PS5 will be the graphical underdog, that is something easily fixed in a later Pro version's GPU while the additional systems (SSD, audio, physics engines, ray tracing, etc.) are much harder to integrate at a later date.

Yeah, sorry. You definitely don't want that sort of shenanigans at the start of a generation for sure.

Lazy devs not optimizing a particular console can go both ways, in general the TF difference will be fairly reflective of performance. It does look like they set their target resolution too high for the One X and it struggles because it's not a true 4k machine. I think that should be much less of an issue next gen because they will be true 4k machines with a 4k 60FPS target for most games. I can't see them targeting a lower resolution so if either console were to struggle with that target it would obviously be the PS5 more so than the Series X.
Multiplatform Devs have also said the same and besides it's not as if they are talking about using the cloud!!!Yeah, I'd be inclined to trust the person not getting their paycheck from Sony too.
Lol you can find loads of comments and they can be completely opposite as well, like other have said "they will say whatever gives them more money "

Not at all. If you read what devs are saying then the PS5 is just as good as the XSX. Just going on teraflops means nothing.
